Blue Nile Cafe

Had a wonderful time eating Ethiopian food with our class. We also had a coffee ceremony for the first time.

Food History Presentations

I really enjoyed the food history presentations last night from our students. Did anyone else get hungry? A have a few more foods on my list to try on this trip.

Yummy Korean Food

Had a great time tasting a variety of Korean dishes at Sobahn Restaurant tonight. I look forward to eating these and other meals in Korea soon. I'm putting together my list of "must try" foods. This group could not be more awesome - very excited to travel with them.

Korean Culture Presentations

Great presentations in class on Korean culture from Korean War & comfort women; education, recycling and obesity issues; to K-Pop, animation and sports; skin care and plastic surgery. 

Sobahn Restaurant Visit

Food and Culture class enjoying Korean food at Sobahn Restaurant. Our menu included Kimbap, Bibimbap, Veggie Pancake, Bulgogi and Spicy Chicken. Of course, we had the traditional side dishes - kimchi, fish cakes, spicy cucumber, bean sprouts, and broccoli/soft tofu.

Kimbap

Blue Nile Restaurant Visit

Enjoying the food at the Blue Nile restaurant - for most of the class, it meant trying something new. We had the sampler platter, which has beef, chicken, lamb, and many veggie and legume dishes, such as, cabbage, greens, green beans and carrots, mushrooms, miser watt (lentils), split peas - all served on top of the traditional Ethiopian bread, injera. 

  

One of the platters before we dug in - our group takes up most of the restaurant. We've been coming here for years with our students and always find a warm welcome and a very friendly, efficient staff to guide us.
